I couldn't agree more. I never understood why modern games use TV personalities / actors for voice overs. It seems to me that the radio actors guild would be much more suited to furnishing individuals that have to rely _solely _ on their voice- not people who have, out of the necessity of the medium, relied on physical and visual cues to augment spoken delivery. That, and I think that using RAG members would probably be a lot cheaper :P

I'd back for a physical strategy guide, too... digital ones just replicate what I can find on gamefaqs or elsewhere so they aren't that interesting, but a good physical copy of the strat guide (and almanac) would definitely make me bump my pledge.

Lots of celtic-sounding names there. For the love of all that's holy, I hope the voice actors are given the correct pronunciations. I still twitch after The "Tuatha" fiasco from Kingdoms of Amalur. Nails across a blackboard, so it is.

i was gonna write something long but everyone's pretty much echoed my sentiment that this is a fantastic update and can't wait to load the ustream for some obsidian DnD while i also play... granted its going to be unhallowed metropolis/necropolis... but still fun =)

tech that's why I was wondering if they would include a small cluture the struggle between science and faith in a predominantly religious world, would make the store so much deeper for me and maybe explain the firearms

I hope that the game will be designed such that death is easily avoided. I'm not a hardcore player, and I don't want to feel like I have to repeatedly reload battles just to make sure I don't lose people.

Unfortunately almost every update of this game makes it feel like it's not a game for me. I still trust that it will have a good story, I just don't trust that I'll enjoy playing it that much, because it feels like it will be too much of a chore.

Great update 24 as usual Josh and crew. Just one thing, please add some dwarven (I really love dwarves) and more "exotic" companions as well (ala Torment), some more "out there" characters. I would really appreciate that. The characters so far seem very intriguing, but I would sorely miss not having a dwarf (female even) companion or even a more exotic race or two companions (instead of just humans and elves). Other than that, again I wish to commend you guys on an awesome KS campaign (you really put a massive amount of effort into this) and wish us all the best in reaching that second city!

This may have been written somewhere ( cant find it specifically :'( ), but if one pledges for a Physical Tier that needs International Shipping added, do you add that amount as well on the pledged amount ( example 250$ + shipping is having you pledge 280$ ) Or is the shipping to be payed at the end as well?

Same thing on the world-building scale. You get your beleifs, architecture and your cultural developments based on past religions and so on. And there will always be those who await the gods' return and preach their ideas to "pass the time". First Dragonlance books are a good example of this.

So, basically, dead gods will change some plot points and factions, but won't affect the world building itself.

Other Physical Soundtrack questions:
- The Physical Soundtrack is an Add-on only. It is not included in any tier.
- See above for how add-ons work.
- You must have a Physical Reward tier to get the Physical Soundtrack CD Add-on
- If you have a Digital Reward tier starting at $35 or higher, you get the Digital Download Soundtrack

Madao: There is another option: Dead gods. They were here, they were powerful, and then they died. Clerics draw on the remnants of their infinite strength, but it's a non-renewable resource and no one knows how long their reservoirs of power will last, and some of the lesser corpse-gods have already been drained...

This is actually going to make it isn't it? There are going to be two metropolises. (Metropoli? Whatever.) I can't believe this is happening. This and Wasteland 2 happening at the same time prove that there is a market for games of an older tradition where literacy and imagination was key and choices mattered beyond what bar you were filling for an ending. Thanks Obsidian!

I'm sorry but I have to agree with some of the above comments. While the soundtrack CD should be considered an add-on for some of the lower tiers, it should absolutely be included in the $250 and up tiers. ESPECIALLY considering that the digital soundtrack is included starting at just $35, which includes a FLAC version which would take all of a few minutes to burn to a CD.
